Comfort Access Sling (with Head Support)
3
Cross over the leg straps and attach to the 4-point
cradle using the leg strap attachment points.
Raise the hoist and attach the shoulder straps to
the 4-point cradle using the shoulder attachment
points (see diagram opposite).
NOTE:
The hoist may move towards the client.
Place the sling down the back of the client and
position just beneath the shoulder blades and
above the belt line. Attach the buckle strap
around the front of the client. There is no need
for the buckle strap to be tight. The buckle strap
is a positioning mechanism and not a restraint.
NOTE: Padding behind the buckle straps
does not need to overlap.

Raise the client’s leg and feed the leg strap

sling fabric is not twisted or creased under the
thigh. Repeat this procedure for the other leg.
